As noted previously, this is still going strong. It's become even more Bordeaux-like with lots of leafy and herbal notes alongside its very Zin-like fruit of bramble fruit and with lovely acidity.

Another excellent bottle - ageing quite nicely. I bet in a few more years this would be a fun wine to throw in as a ringer in a blind Bordeaux tasting.

Wow, this bottle was fantastic. Clearly into a secondary phase now, with smooth fruit, lots of earth and complex spicy notes. No hint of the grassy qualities in younger bottles, except as the occasional minor note.

This just keeps getting better. Any hint of the grassy/funky note seems to have vanished with age. This is a delightful middle aged Zin.

Another good bottle. The grassy note is still quite prominent.
